| I went through a similar situation a few years back, my honest opinion is that you should get legal advice ASAP, you may be surprised at how much evidence you already have - the number of people who have already left with stress problems would be verifiable for example. Companies are VERY wary of be... |

| I'm finding this thread quite bizarre, I am not inferior to anyone else but I'm not superior either - I'm just me, a human being that deserves to be treated like any other. This supremacy idea just reminds me of the jerks in school that thought because they were physically more advanced it gave them... |

| I had great difficulty learning to drive, many aspies never learn at all. There are several reasons why but the main two are the problems we have with our bodies (clumsy, awkward etc.) and sensory problems.

| Forget about the way that your friends get girls, we don't have the "social firepower" to handle chat up lines and the tiny confusing signals that happen when flirting. Think about when you were out with your friend and the girl, she was off limits so you just talked to her and got along fine, that'... |

| Sometimes it helps me to write the thoughts down, it seems to "solidify" them if that makes any sense! What I mean is when I'm thinking obsessively about something its like the thoughts have no set shape, I can move them around to see what patterns emerge which can be absolutely fascinating and tota... |

| I'm waiting to see someone for an official diagnosis, but the tests so far seem to strongly indicate AS (Your Aspie score: 154 of 200, Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 70 of 200, You are very likely an Aspie).
